Kevin and I had our usual fresh oj, omelette breakfast with cafe au lait at a local place; the waitress recognized us from the week before! Guess we're regulars now.
Meanwhile Ann and Laurie ran 8 miles (seriously!) along the seine and champs élysées!
Then we wandered together down to the most famous museum of the world to be once again overwhelmed by the sheer size of the famous building and art collection. Here we are waiting for tix.
Here are a few images from inside. Sorry for all the nudes, but it was hard to avoid!
Victoire de samothrace ( one of my faves).
David and Goliath.
I like this perspective on Venus de Milo.
The rooms themselves are often works of art.
It's a tradition, right Kate?
I really like this; studying nature.
dedicated to my wonderful daughter.
The three graces.
After a too short time in the Louvre, we crossed the Seine to the Latin quarter and were enthralled by the numerous galleries, restaurants and shops, not to mention the people watching.
We ate lunch here.
couldn't help but think of Dad as we strolled by the hotel where he stayed in a past visit. Given how much we liked this area, we also wished we had called earlier for reservations so we too could have stayed here, because the location is absolutely ideal.
Laurie buying out the place.
No wirework, no beadwork, but feather jewelry is here in Paris as well.
Next we visited St. Chap Elle, a gorgeous little church on isle de la cite.
the highlight of course is the stained glass windows, which transport the eye heavenward.
I have no pictures from the end of our day, but it was great. We had champagne on the terrace at our hotel and the boys presented some anniversay gifts to a stunned, and appreciative, couple of the most amazing women on the planet.
Then, we whisked said women to a wild restaurant called Dragons Élysées, where we enjoyed Asian/Thai food while looking through the floor at an aquarium!
It was probably the most perfect city day I've ever spent.
